Wouldnt that be some shit if this is the root of the problem, dumb ass chrysler wanted to cut costs by removing the harmonic balancers. Maybe its a warranty void technique

Didn't have a tcase explosion yet, but did have the pinion bearing (next to yoke) go in my front diff. Roller cage disintegrated and the rollers went wild. Replaced it and now notice side to side play in the front output shaft of my tcase. I have noticed no vibrations at all. I suspect that it is there, but not audible or noticeable.

Have all the modifications that seem to cause the problem.

Are there any confirmed cases of t-case failures with 2.5 inches of lift and stock drive shafts? Or is this isolated to larger lifts and aftermarket shafts?
